Follow your child's interests, supplement your standard program, and dig deeper into a specific area of study with Switched-On Schoolhouse Electives! With a variety of subjects and grades available, SOS elective students will enjoy the change of pace and the chance to learn more about topics they're interested in.

Most high school students "stop before the end of the book." Take steps towards understanding recent events that directly relate to how we live American lives today with the SOS Twentieth Century American History!

Created for high school students, this course will examine America's economic, political, governmental, cultural, and technological growing pains during the 20th century. Students will grapple with the causes and effects of cooperation, competition, and conflict; expand their knowledge of how the interaction between continuity and change played a large role in the 20th century; see how change happens during times of conflict and cooperation; increase their awareness of how history affects future generations; and analyze the impact of new technologies and innovation on society and culture. In attaining these goals, students will develop insight and perspective on the themes and patterns of history and a greater understanding of today's world. 5 instructional units and a cumulative semester review/test.

Some lesson topics include:

Unit 1: Lesson 1 - America's New Industrial Age

Unit 2: Lesson 6 - Imperialism and America
